This book is so bad I won't even be passing it along.
The author says in the intro this is the advice she wishes she had a little sister to pass it along to. Like how to sneak out and not get caught. My daughter doesn't need that kind of big sister.
This is a 20 yr old trying to justify and validate the selfish, self-centered behavior of her teens. Paraphrased: Do what you want, you deserve to be happy. If others don't like it, they just don't value your individuality.
She does, seemingly by pure chance, happen to give a nugget or two of decent advice. But buried amid the 300+ horrid bits of "wisdom", I would shred this book just to ensure it doesn't fall into my daughter's hands and make her a narcissistic copy of the author.
